August 13, 2005: With editing totaling around 50 pages, WikiFur was promoted with GreenReaper's I Have a Dream message, cross-posted to several LiveJournal communities (it was, perhaps appropriately, deleted from Yerf's ;-). In a deserved burst of bad karma, the server went down and stayed down for hours.

It should come as no surprise, but in case you were wondering: "yes". Yes, there is a Wiki for furries. Don't spam it up, if only out of respect for the wikipedia ideal.

As a result, a mass of users hit the WikiFur servers. At the peak one edit was made every 45 seconds.

At first we thought it was just an extension of the previous trolling, but as I tried to record the IPs and figure out some sort of pattern, I saw they were all over the place. Our next thought was proxies, but even then, there were just too many edits. Finally a vandal posted the URL while making an edit, and so we found out exactly what happened. Then we got chosen as Awful Link of the Day . . .

I drafted several sysops from those trying to revert the edits, and we slowly beat back the tide. By about 14:00 EDT we had a reasonable handle on things, although edits were still coming thick and fast. Ironically, it probably helped us far more than it hurt, considering how many users it brought into the site, but it was hectic at the time! --GreenReaper(talk)

August 20, 2005: Within the first week of openly promoting WikiFur, it had grown 32 times over, and there were over 1600 pages and 646 full articles on the site. Statistically, there was a new edit every 2 minutes, and a new page added every 20 minutes.

August 21, 2005: A WikiFur article was created on Wikipedia by an anonymous user, and almost immediately submitted to Votes for Deletion on grounds of non-notability. Nobody actually at WikiFur heard about this until later in the week. The majority of votes (including those by WikiFur admins) were for delete, due to unproven notability.

August 23, 2005: Passed 750 article pages.

August 25, 2005: Passed 850 article pages and 10000 edits.

August 28, 2005: Passed 1000 articles pages in the early hours of the morning, minor celebrations are held.

October 30, 2005: The main page and Community Central were redesigned (and the latter renamed) to celebrate the creation of WikiFur's 2000th article page.
